Before anyone starts banging on about Edouard, he's a class player and will have a good career but there's two reasons that he's not in the top two.
One, Alfredo's stats are absolutley staggering this season, besides the point that he was the top goal scorer in Scotland last season.
Second reason is simply, Jermain Defoe. I said to a boy today that was watching the game with me, when JD was warming up "he'll grab a double". He's simply the best finisher in Scotland. Alfie has an immense all round game but its absolute suicide from an oppostion point of view to give JD any space or time in the 18 yard box because, as a great article stated when he was linked with us, he's made a career out of absolutely twatting the ball into the back of the net. What a position we are in.
